U.S. President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection ahead of Israel’s Oct. 27 election, describing him as the best partner for the United States, according to The New York Times.
Netanyahu thanked Trump during a phone call whose video was released by the prime minister’s office Monday. “Donald, we have a job to finish. You said it, and we will finish it together,” Netanyahu said. He called Trump “by far the greatest friend Israel ever had and will have in the White House.”
Trump’s endorsement drew differing responses in the United States. Vice President JD Vance declined to take a position when asked Monday whether he also supported Netanyahu’s reelection. “I’m not anti-endorsing him. I’m not pro-endorsing him,” Vance said during an interview with Mark Halperin on Air Force Two, adding that he was “not getting involved.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized Trump’s decision in a post on X, accusing Trump and Netanyahu of seeking “never-ending war in the Middle East.” Sanders also called for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel and urged voters to end Republican control of Congress in the Nov. 3 election.
